It had levels that held crayons and you would twist it and crayon would drop down and out? A gift for me around 1960&#39;s. I would love to see one if possible. Thanks.

I guess if you are looking to sell, ebay is the great market decider. I wouldn&#39;t try and sell it in the summer though, wait until October when everyone is done with their holidays, back-to-school, etc. If you sell it with the box, be sure to point it out and you can use the information (or reference) that I&#39;ve put on this article.

Crayola put out two different Holiday crayon items back in 1997. One was a box containing 8 crayons but none of these had color names on them. They did a Holiday Pack one too that had a 24-color box and an ornament of a bear. In 2001 they also did a 16-color box but again, none of these crayon containers had any unique crayon names and this article speaks to rare crayon color names.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730956006290504616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197597596336716142.post-64061835246819792552015-11-29T11:40:10.420-08:002015-11-29T11:40:10.420-08:00You forgot to talk about holiday colorsYou forgot to talk about holiday colorsAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863117588169740035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197597596336716142.post-19059863383302083232015-11-17T22:20:08.807-08:002015-11-17T22:20:08.807-08:00Hi Debbie, sorry about the late response...I took ...Hi Debbie, sorry about the late response...I took a break from the site for awhile.

But I have been collecting for years and I amassed my collection by buying rare Crayolas off of e-bay, trading with fellow collectors and searching through thrift stores. It is a long process but if you are patient, you may succeed. I wish you best on your hunt for the rare ones!
